THE TOSSERS Reveal 2017 Plans

Wednesday, January 25 2017

Chicago’s
favorite sons THE TOSSERS return
with a new album, Smash The Windows, nearly
a quarter of a century since their inception. The album is set for release on March
3rd, but today the band gives you a first taste with “Erin Go
Bragh,” just in time for their 2017 touring plans to begin.

Vocalist Tony Duggins explains “the story of the Irish coming to America,” in ‘Erin Go Bragh,’ and in support of Smash The Windows, THE TOSSERS will hit the US to paint the crowds green with their intoxicating anthems. The first leg kicks off March 1st outside Detroit, MI, and will head East before returning to the Midwest to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with their annual hometown blow-out at Chicago’s famed Metro. More dates will be announced soon.

“’King of Nothing’ is a song
about wanting to be the best,” states BROADSIDE
vocalist Ollie Baxxter. “We chose this life as touring musicians but it can be painfully
lonely. We all want to be heard and play to massive crowds while making enough
money that our parents won’t worry about our futures. I’m so proud of our
accomplishments as a band but some nights, after the show ends and those crowds
leave the venue, when you’re in the back seat of a dark van, you feel like
you’re not doing enough and those dreams you have become nightmares of what
you’ll never achieve. You can be on top of the world and have nothing.”

“I was going through a real out
of body misery when writing ‘Empty,’” Baxxter playfully admits. “The duality of
a being a broken-hearted romantic splits a person. On one hand, you've been
wronged, you should run and never look back. On the other, the rewarding time
spent and memories made keep you trapped in the worrisome ‘what if this person
leaves’ psychosis. I wanted to write a dance-y song making fun of how
unfortunate it is to be in love, sometimes.”

Fans can fall in love with BROADSIDE’s live show once again as the
band will support Set It Off across North America starting June 11 and wrapping
up July 19. BROADSIDE will then head
into the studio to record a brand new album, the follow-up to 2017’s smash Paradise. In the fall of 2019, the band
return to Europe for a month+ long tour (dates to be announced soon) and more
slated for 2020.

CAROUSEL KINGS have released a
soul-stirring new song, “Monarch,” from their upcoming full-length album Plus Ultra, available on May 31, 2019.
That same day, the Pennsylvania punks kick off the Plus Ultra Tour Phase 1 in
Albany, NY with more dates to be announced soon.

As the band packs
their bags for the road, Alexander adds, “We are totally thrilled to get out
there, do the work and show fans where CAROUSEL
KINGS are at as we prepare to enter a new decade. Plus Ultra is the culmination of where this band came from and
where we are going. And we hope to see you in your city soon!”

AWAKEN I AM have released “The Stages Of Grief,” a brand new video from their
upcoming EP The Beauty In Tragedy, set
for release on April 26, 2019. The five song collection plays as a
tribute dedicated entirely to their late guitarist Connor Verner-Oakley.

“The love that we all shared with
Connor ran so deep,” admits drummer Luke McKenzie. “With such a sudden loss we
never got the chance to let him know how much we loved him, how proud we are of
him and how we cherished the final times we spent together. This recording was
the hardest thing we have ever had to work through and move forward from. ‘The
Stages Of Grief’ is self-explanatory, we are working through all of this and finding
our way of saying he will always be loved and always missed.”

Never afraid to show their
loveable demeanor, CAROUSEL
KINGS
are delivering a second peek into their upcoming album through the new video “Lock
Meowt,” ahead of the release of Plus
Ultra on May 31, 2019. The video showcases the Pennsylvania quartet’s lighter
side without straying from their bounce-off-the-wall rhythms and wildly energetic
sing-alongs.

AWAKEN I AM have released a brand new video for “Kin,” from their upcoming EP The Beauty In Tragedy, set for release on April 26, 2019. The five-song collection plays as a tribute to their late guitarist Connor Verner-Oakley, and features the previously released song/video “Dissolution,” with “Kin” and three new tracks dedicated to Oakley.

Monday, January 16 2017BROADSIDE have
announced their first US tour of 2017, alongside Real Friends, Have Mercy, Tiny

corners of the States before concluding in Chicago on June 9th.

Pennsylvania pop-punk ambassadors CAROUSEL KINGS have partnered with Substream Magazine to premiere “Grey Goose,” the high-flying second video from their upcoming album Charm City. The album, “packed with spirit and spry enthusiasm,” as heralded by Substream, will be available everywhere February 10th, 2017.

Since the release of their critically acclaimed album Loss, the nihilistic metal assailants known as SEEKER have not halted the brakes behind support of “one of the most aggressive albums of the year,” as described by metal pundits Aardschok Magazine. Following a December headlining tour, SEEKER has now unveiled plans for 2017, including US and Canadian tours with The Grindmother and Psycroptic, and a stop at the Modified Ghost Fest in Vancouver.

CAROUSEL KINGS have announced ‘The Charm Cities Tour,’ ahead of the release of their Victory Records debut, Charm City, available in-stores February 10th. Swedish label mates ABANDONED BY BEARS and special guests BAD CASE OF BIG MOUTH join the nearly seven week trek which begins March 2nd in Secaucus, NJ, and covers North America before concluding April 13th in CAROUSEL KING’s hometown of Lancaster, PA as part of the Launch Music Conference.
